I am so excited to share our first mutual aid panel of 2026, A Jumu’ah Conversation With Muslims In TTRPGs. This is genuinely my favorite ttrpg-related panel I have ever watched, and I hope you will consider carving a little time out of your day to engage with it.

Did you know that you can use Locus to play Sci-fi style horror? Well you can! and we wrote an extensive guide on how the theming and concepts of sci-fi horror can be most effectively used in the setting. We're pretty proud of the writing in this one and think it's valuable even outside of Locus.

Overdoing It is a key part of my wretched personality, so I don't see why I shouldn't make condiments from scratch for my upcoming luncheon.

I think if I were to make a resolution (I typically don't because I have no object permanence), it would be to work with other designers this year! The lone wolf bit suits me fine normally but there are some things you can't accomplish alone, you know?

I should clean a WIP off my docket to celebrate the new year. I mean I should.

There has not ever, in my knowledge, been a collection of new and established black TTRPG designers like the Griot Anthology. The industry has largely not given a shit. I expect the same for Five Fires. This was going to be a rare whining post, but actually? Fuck that. Instead: Thank you

This year I wrote a solo game for Solo But Not Alone 6, cutting it pretty close to the wire. Halfway through I realized the game was about nurturing connection to humanity and killing your inner judge so you can join society with an open heart.

My snake is adorable when he's hungry because he suddenly becomes very interested in Papa. No more hiding, suddenly it's "hello!" and curious tongue-flicks because the wretched Papa sometimes brings food.

CHAPTER 1: You are now playing the game. You also just lost The Game. Every time you see this post in your feed, you lose The Game again. Reskeet for 7 years good luck. CHAPTER 2: What is a TTRPG?

the driver never even made the attempt so I was waiting for nothing.

do you think the cars in cars ever crash into each other on purpose behind the gas station because they're a motherfucker on leaded gasoline and the gas station attendant kicked them out ages ago?

2. Barbarella review by @bransonreese.bsky.social letterboxd.com/bransonreese...

when you design a mascot and show it to everyone saying "I also drew this little fucker" and then "Little Fucker" just becomes the creature's name.

(sits in way too large chair, feet don't reach the ground, kicking idly) I think...there's lots of games.

Organizing an itch.io Bundle I've organized five itch.io bundles. Four of them have already happened, and one of them is still live for a few more hours. Here are links to all of them1:

What a quote.

2025 was a year of recalibration at Take This. Our Executive Director, Kelli Dunlap, wrote about what it's meant for our organization to step back and strengthen our foundations. Check out some of the things we accomplished this year in our final blog post of the year!

I’m going to close the $5 sketch slot on December 31st, and will be reorganizing commission options next year. I don’t know if I will have any art options at that price next year so if you want cheap art from me, this is likely to be your last chance.

Hey look! The Hall is still out! and you can still get it! :3
